THIS IS NOW CANCELLED. SORRY! PLEASE REFER TO THE WEBSITE FOR DETAILS

Alternative music-loving locals to the Leeds area are in for a treat this July, as the Oats And Groats festival is to be held in the woodland of Hunters Greave.

The three-day event takes place from July 7 until July 9, and features a wide variety of acts. All bands will perform in a clearing, lit by lanterns and camp fires. Organic vegetarian food will be available, and local craft stalls will sell a myriad of goodies.

Tickets - £20 for three days or a tenner for one - are available from Crash Records and Jumbo Records in Leeds, but they can also be purchased online by visiting the festival's website, here.

By coincidence I got his album yesterday and had one listen last night - First impression was it's a bit boring, I will persevere.


however...

I also got the Midlake album which is great so it may just have suffered in comparison.

cowtown
david thomas broughton
souvaris
mcwatt

the rest is new to me, but i'm sure there will be some nice surprises.


Er...

Ho?


this looks a little too indie for me

not heard of one of them.

do you mean 'too indie' as in 'too independent'? because that is precisly what it is...


Michael Rossiter
